Factward vs Full Fact AI

Factward checks text, URLs, and PDFs by identifying factual claims and comparing them with web sources. Its AI model filters out opinions, predictions, and subjective statements, then retrieves up to five independent sources for each claim. Reports classify claims as Supported, Conflicting Sources, Refuted, or Insufficient Evidence, and include confidence, reasoning, linked sources, and a Trust Score. The service tracks when claims may have become stale and prompts users to check them again. A bookmarklet can send article text for review, and the Pro API can be used in a CMS or publishing pipeline. A beta Chrome extension highlights claims alongside verdicts and evidence, including when checking selected text from its context menu. Factward says submissions are used to produce results and are not sold or shared with third parties, though jobs and reports are stored in its database. Niche, paywalled, or very recent claims may lack evidence, and nuanced claims can be misinterpreted. The free plan allows two verifications per day; Pro costs $9 a month.
